Two gym owners are set to expand their business enterprise by opening what is believed to be Hull's first healthy takeaway restaurant.

A year on from opening Planet Gym in Blundells Corner, Graham Whitehead, 35, and his business partner Ben Fisher, 34, who is also a chef, have "taken a risk" by welcoming Bird Is The Word to Spring Bank.

The new chicken takeaway, which is set to open its doors on February 1, is promising a brand new concept by delivering “Hull’s first healthy, clean food joint.”

It has vowed to serve nutritious meals instead of “toxic foods” full of hydrogenated fats and synthetic meats.

Mr Whitehead, who works as a personal trainer and nutritious coach, said the entrepreneurial pair noticed a clear gap in the takeaway market for more health conscious food lovers.
